Seems like your search uses OR, not AND. So adding more ingredients broadens the search rather than narrowing it. That seems kind of useless... adding just a handful of ingredients would end up matching basically all recipes.

If you click the star next to the ingredient name, it tags that ingredient as "recipe must include this ingredient", so you can click all of the stars to do an AND.

Edit: And if you click the star a second time it tags it as "this recipe must not include this ingredient", which would be helpful for people with allergies (or picky eaters).

>>> And if you click the star a second time it tags it as "this recipe must not include this ingredient"

And this is a prime example why icons without labels (in this app, there are no tooltips either which is even worse) are useless.

Star as in... favourite ingredient? save ingredient to some list? wut...?

This is compounded by the fact that it says "recipes with X and Y", when it is searching for "X or Y".
